    Default Howdy

    Hello all,

    I'm new to the forum, so I thought I'd introduce myself a little bit. I grew up in Montana as an "outside kid", pretty much meaning my mom kicked me out of the house after breakfast everyday So, outdoor survival and those skills have just always been a part of my life. I had a .22 and an 8" fixed blade knife pretty much attached to me throughout my entire childhood since the age of 10. I'm an archery hunter, though I've rifle and handgun hunted in the past as well. I served five years in the U.S. Army, and now work as a welder and carpenter for the National Park Service. I look forward to sharing here, and learning what you all have to teach me!

    Thanks all, and you're welcome. I've been home for a while. I got out in '98, Bosnia was my campaign.

    Makes no never mind. You could have gotten out in '53 and you would have still been thanked.

    I appreciate that. Forgot to mention above, but I am also active in the NPS dive program, so If there are any other divers around, I'm always excited to chat about that!

    Thanks! I can't imagine being away from it for that long. Being a Park diver, we dive a lot. I made 104 dives last year.

    Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Other survival forum? We've heard rumors of such things but I can assure they do not exist. We've sent brave knights into the darkness looking for them and all have come back empty handed. There is no world beyond this one.
